On this song, they had the legendary Bootsy Collins from Parliament Funkadelic on bass, Fred Wesley on trombone, Maceo Parker on sax, and Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest performing the rap. Interesting piece of trivia: DJ Dmitry is still the only person from the Soviet Union to have earned a gold record in the US (for this song, in fact).

An absolute classic and you two were adorable reacting to it! I grew up loving this as a young teenager, grew up to be a drag queen heavily inspired by the lead singer, met my idol years later, and actually ended up performing this song with the Lady Miss Kier herself onstage. (you were correct: Deee-LIte is the band's name). If you've done much looking into them, the band is incorrectly labelled a "one-hit-wonder." They came from the same NYC club scene as RuPaul in the late 1980's to 1990's and a majority of their amazing work remained in clubland and later in the early rave scene. Let me know if you're still interested in a bit more of them and I'd be happy to school you! Deee-groovy!

I just have to know how many times Amber went back and listen to this song on that day. I don't even listen to the actual recording this anymore, I just watch this reaction video, because it makes me so ridiculously happy! I'm a 90s kid, and it just fills me with so much joy to watch the next generations enjoying such a massive part of my childhood!

The mixing of all those different genres (rap, funk, disco, house, you name it) is actually what this song is about. The message is that it never matters which genre a song is because groove is in the heart. It means free you mind and open up for new experiences.

Deee-Lite were disco babies. Given that disco took in so many styles, it's not a surprise their's was so varied. Don't expect the trio's other songs to be like this one. There is an undercurrent of '90s House and Garage, which is mixed in with '60s Lounge, spoken word, r&b, and the psychedelic sounds of the early '70s. Some of their other non-pop songs are Runaway, I Had A Dream I Was Falling Through A Ozone Layer, Power Of Love, Good Beat, Thank You Every Day, Picnic In The Summertime, and Bittersweet Loving.

Glad you found this fun duo. They came out of the dance/house scene here in NYC, and if you were in NYC at the time you'd see them all over. You can tell their influences from 70's retro to funk to house. They were really a duo with Lady Kier and Towa Tei forming the base. The duo only had one other minor hit with "Power Of Love" which was okay, but not up to this bubbly hybrid. Also the rapper on this was Q-Tip. By the way, the bassist on this cut was the great Bootsy Collins who was part of Parliament/Funkadelic for many years. Try George Clinton's band and their great cuts, "(Not Just) Knee Deep", "Flashlight", and "One Nation Under A Groove" for a taste of the Funkmaster.

Enjoy you two very much and looking forward to the next reaction.
